✅ The project “Researchers in the Triangle of Knowledge” (K-TRIO) aims primarily to bring scientists and their work closer to the general public, thus increasing people’s awareness of scientific activities and achievements and their effects on everyday life. This, in turn, should attract and motivate more young talents to strive for a scientific career.
✅ In the long run, the project aims to encourage young people’s interest in the so-called STEM & Art (or the addition of art to STEM education) to nurture a new culture of creativity, scientific curiosity, innovative spirit, and responsibility for environmental conservation. It also seeks to increase public readiness to engage in citizen science, open science, and open innovation.
✅ This approach would improve the opportunities for researchers to interact with children and students and engage in citizen science activities with them. It would enhance the reputation and popularity of research teams and organizations and their contribution to economic and regional development. Thus, the public would become much more aware of what is happening with education, scientific research, and innovation as fundamental drivers of knowledge, with a huge impact on citizens’ daily lives and work, and on sustainable futures. It would also increase public understanding of the policies and programs of the European Union, with a special focus on the future of the European research area, sustainable recovery, green and digital transformation.
